Well done to Mr. Mark Cahalane and his U14 Boys Football team who drew with Hamilton High last Sunday in the final of the Dr.O Herlihy Cup. The replay will be played next Saturday in Dunmanway.
Pictured are members of the Green Schools Committee, their teacher Mr. John McGabhan and Mr. Brian Moore of the Southern Star at the launch of the school's "Reusable Cup Campaign". The team built a tower of 400 cups, the number that are disposed of every three days. Last year 15,000 school coffee cups went to landfill. The Committee have introduced reusable school crested cups and are working with the Canteen company to introduce biodegradable cups. The school community are encouraged to support this worthy cause. Cups are for sale every lunchtime in the canteen. Cost is €5.
Pictured here are first year classes 1A and 1B getting to know one another as part of our planned friendship activities for first year to help them to settle in. Thanks to Ms. Deirdre Hennigan, Ms. Caroline O’Donovan and Ms. Orla O’Sullivan for organising.

Rapunzel
This year's TY production is a musical re-telling of the fairytale 'Rapunzel'.
The Art, Music and English departments have come together once again to mount a fabulous show in which all the theatrical skills: sets, costumes, music, acting and backstage management have been taken on by the TY students themselves under the guidance of the TY staff.
The show has many popular toe-tapping songs, beautifully sung by the talented cast and its upbeat, comedic script is a sure-fire audience pleaser.
The whole creative process has been great fun for the students and taught them new skills, increased their confidence and enabled them to make new friends along the way.
We hope you will come along and support the students and have yourselves a great night out.
Show times:
Thursday 10th of May at 8:00 PM.
Friday 11th of May at 8:00 PM.
Saturday 12th of May at 8:00 PM.
Matinee for primary schools Wednesday 9th of May at 11:00 AM.
Ticket Price €10.00.
Family Ticket: 2 adult and 2 children €30.00.
2 tickets for €15.00 for the opening night on Thursday 10th of May only.
Tickets are available at Cathal O' Donovan's Book Shop, 35 Main Street, Skibbereen and at the school's reception office.

The junior girls basketball team travelled to Portlaoise to play in the All Ireland Junior ‘A’ play offs last Friday, 20th April.
Our first game was against Pres Kilkenny where the girls got off to a great start winning 36-23.
Our second match was against the hosting team Scoil Chríost Rí Portlaoise who had great support from the sideline. Our girls played very well but unfortunately we missed a lot of scoring chances and lost out 38-23.
We were straight into our third and final game against Loretto Foxrock who sat at top of the table going into the game. We knew we would have our work cut out for us. The girls had an outstanding performance against a very strong Foxrock team, showing the heart and determination we have seen from them all year. Unfortunately we lost 34-30, but the girls could walk off holding their heads high after leaving everything on the court.
It has been a fantastic year for this bunch of girls. They have done us proud. They will take everything they have learned from this fantastic opportunity of playing at the highest level of basketball in Cork/ Ireland and put it into practice to come back fighting next year. Watch this space!
The School will close at 1.10pm on Thursday, April 26th to facilitate a Staff Meeting. Buses will run at this time.
This competition is opened to all students. If interested please contact any member of the Home Economics Department.
